Why This Combo Works

Let’s cut to the chase: compliance sucks. Customer verification processes turn into black holes where requests go to die, and fraud prevention feels like playing whack-a-mole. Realaml handles the heavy lifting of identity checks and anti-fraud measures, while ApproveThis cuts through the approval gridlock. Together, they’re like a bouncer and a VIP host working the same club – one checks IDs, the other fast-tracks the good stuff.

Realaml’s verification tools catch bad actors. ApproveThis makes sure the right people sign off on the legit ones. Zapier acts as the messenger that keeps both systems talking without requiring your team to play middleman. For companies scaling between 50-5,000 employees, this isn’t just nice-to-have – it’s how you avoid becoming a cautionary tale in next quarter’s audit report.

Where This Gets Real

1. The Compliance Time Crunch

Picture a fintech startup onboarding new users. Realaml flags a high-risk customer from Panama. Instead of this sitting in someone’s inbox for days, ApproveThis automatically routes it to your Head of Risk. She rejects it over coffee using email approvals. The whole thing takes 12 minutes instead of 12 days.

Or take healthcare. A medical device company needs three sign-offs before granting vendor access. Realaml verifies credentials, ApproveThis pings the compliance officer, legal lead, and CFO in order. If Legal doesn’t respond by Thursday? The request escalates automatically. No spreadsheets, no “I thought YOU approved this.”

2. The Fraud-Approval Tango

Here’s where it gets spicy. Let’s say ApproveThis greenlights a contract amendment. Zapier instantly tells Realaml to re-verify the now-modified terms against the customer’s history. Found a discrepancy? Freeze everything before money moves. This back-and-forth used to take weeks. Now it happens between lunch and your 2pm Zoom.

Bonus move: Use ApproveThis’ approval thresholds. Anything under $50K gets auto-approved if Realaml’s fraud score is low. Over that amount? CFO gets involved. You’re not just fast – you’re smart-fast.

Setting This Up Without Losing a Day

Zapier does the wiring here. Two main paths:

  • Path 1: Realaml finishs verification → ApproveThis starts approval
  • Path 2: ApproveThis approves something → Realaml kicks off deeper checks

Pick your trigger in Zapier (we’re partial to the ApproveThis-Realaml templates). Map these three things:

  1. Which Realaml events need human eyes (high-risk countries? Large transactions?)
  2. Who approves what (Legal gets contracts, Finance handles invoices over $X)
  3. What happens post-approval (auto-confirm in your CRM? Trigger payout?)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag requests needing extra Realaml checks. If someone in procurement orders 10,000 widgets from a new vendor, that combo might trigger both verification and executive approval.

Who Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)

Compliance Teams

No more herding cats for sign-offs. Set sequential approvals so regional managers review first, then central compliance. Vacation delegation means someone’s always covering – critical for industries with strict response deadlines.

Operations Squads

Real talk: Ops people hate being human routers. Connect Realaml’s verification completions to ApproveThis workflows. Now when a new supplier clears checks, the system automatically bugs the right person to approve purchase orders. You just took yourself out of the nagging business.

Finance Departments

Approval thresholds are your new best friend. Anything under $10K with a clean Realaml report? Auto-approved. Over that amount? Route through managers. Plus, every approved/denied decision ties back to a verifiable audit trail in Realaml. Say goodbye to “Who approved this?!” fire drills.

The Unspoken Perks

Let’s highlight what others won’t:

No license bloat: External partners can approve requests via email without needing Realaml access. Your client’s CFO approves a contract extension? She doesn’t care about your verification stack – she just clicks “Approve” in Gmail.

Dual-layer audits: Every ApproveThis decision links to Realaml’s verification data. During audits, you can show not just who approved something, but exactly what compliance checks were green at that moment.

Scale without chaos: Adding a new department? Clone their approval workflow, adjust the Realaml triggers, and you’re done. No starting from scratch every time marketing decides to try another sketchy influencer campaign.

When to Think Twice

This isn’t magic fairy dust. If your approval processes change weekly or you’ve got 17 different verification tools, maybe start small. But for companies where compliance and speed are constantly at odds? This integration is the mediator you need.

One warning: Don’t set approvals to auto-pilot without guardrails. Use Realaml’s risk scores to determine how many approvers are needed. High score? Require consensus from three team members. Low risk? Maybe just a quick manager nod.

Your Move

The combo of ApproveThis and Realaml via Zapier isn’t about being fancy – it’s about closing gaps where mistakes happen and regulators lurk. For teams tired of being human middleware between verification and action, this is your exit ramp.
